That kind of sucks, but it should only be for a dev release

I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

K9 and Thunderbird for Android are now the same app with different branding

Not quite, they are and will continue to be the same app and code base with distinct branding.

The rebranding in F-droid recently was a mistake that has been fixed.

Fuck me, the “rhetorical” question in the lede is answered in the article, buried in the fifteenth paragraph.

The policy proposal falls under the Greens’ so-called ‘Robin Hood reforms’ and they have said they will pay for the plan by “taxing big corporations that are profiting off price gouging during a cost of living crisis”.

This is borderline disinformation by sbs

This is even worse than when journalists normally ask this question. It’s a debt not a payment.

They will pay for it by finding a $2 coin in the centre console of their government funded car to buy a biro to cross off the line item.

Cheers. It took 5 full days for the comments to federate to my instance after this post, so this post was a ghost town on my end until today.

Blinx: The time sweeper

Thanks for bringing that up, I played the shit out of Blinx 2 back when and had all but forgotten it.

Incidentally my first thought reading your comment was “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”

Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and “undertaking” isn’t a thing, it’s completely legal to overtake in any lane.

This is such an obvious conclusion of this saga that I have to assume that Labor saw it coming. If so, it implies that they made a political calculation that it was better for their reaction to be struck down months later than to let the original high court ruling stand.

And they were willing to violate the constitution and fuck with peoples lives for political expedience.

Disappointed there doesn’t appear to be a project page

Now do the crappy mobile games

The removals also follow former Netflix gaming boss Mike Verdu — who just announced that he’s a VP of “GenAI for Games” at Netflix — telling Game File’s Stephen Totilo that the company wasn’t building interactive titles anymore.

VP of “GenAI for Games”

Oh. Oh no.

This gonna need a citation

…what?

the size of a tiny granola bit

…what??

There is a workaround for this, which is to use a service like JMP.chat to redirect SMS to XMPP, at which point you only need to ensure internet which is a bit of a lower requirement than specific networks (but of course may still become more limiting over time)

It’s too early to be certain, but I’ve got high hopes for the future of the SHIFT 6mq.

I believe it has mainline linux support, or it is being worked on, which will be important for ongoing OS upgrades. Otherwise they have a similar philosophy to Fairphone with an important difference; SHIFT wants you to be able to upgrade their phones, not just repair them. I don’t think this has been realistically tested yet, but the successor SHIFTPHONE 8 is coming out imminently, and I think we should start to see pretty soon if any of the new modules can be installed on the older model.

I’ve actually got the SHIFTPHONE 8 coming myself, because I got spooked by places turning off 3G already and wanted to “future proof” with 5G, but otherwise would have preferred the 6mq.

The one caveat is that SHIFT is a very small company, which could mean risk for long term support.

No parliamentarians have been referred so we already know the architects are off scott-free

I reckon that requires a legislative solution, not just a technological one.
